Claude token: api pricing and limits
Pay-as-you-go token rates for the uncensored API mean you only spend on actual inference, with prepaid credit that never expires. This model avoids subscription traps, ensuring your balance covers exactly what you use.
No subscriptions. Prepaid balance does not expire.

Sample scenarios
A developer debugging a complex Python script using function calling
Input: 2,000 tokens ($0.0003). Output: 800 tokens ($0.0004). Total cost: $0.0007. Formula: (2000/1,000,000 * 0.15) + (800/1,000,000 * 0.50).
Streaming a long-form creative story with high temperature
Input: 1,000 tokens ($0.00015). Output: 4,000 tokens ($0.002). Total cost: $0.00215. Formula: (1000/1,000,000 * 0.15) + (4000/1,000,000 * 0.50).
Batch processing 50 short summaries in a single request
Input: 15,000 tokens ($0.00225). Output: 2,500 tokens ($0.00125). Total cost: $0.0035. Formula: (15000/1,000,000 * 0.15) + (2500/1,000,000 * 0.50).
How prepaid credit works
You fund your account with crypto, and the balance tracks your exact token consumption. Errors and refusals cost nothing, so you only pay for successful inference. The prepaid balance keeps your spend predictable because you control the top-up amount. Credit never expires, so you can use it whenever you need it. This approach avoids the monthly fees of typical providers.
Trial credit details
New accounts receive $0.50 in trial credit for seven days. The trial lets you test the uncensored API before committing to a larger top-up. Once the trial expires, the balance resets to zero. You can upgrade to paid credit at any time.
Why prepaid keeps costs predictable
Unlike subscriptions that charge for idle capacity, prepaid credit aligns cost with usage. You can monitor your balance in real-time via the dashboard. Small teams and solo developers benefit from the granular billing. You can top up with as little as $20 or as much as $500. Bonus credits add value to larger deposits.
